//------------------------------// // Case 22: A Dark Stakeout // Story: SPD Emergency // by cyberlord4444 //------------------------------// Cruger looked over the reports, apparently there were a string of robberies of pharmacutical plants, and there was no evidence of who did it. He sighed, “This is gonna be like Man Bat, I know it.” Before he could figure out what to do about the situation, a portal opened, dropping a card. Cruger grinned as he picked it up, and it only grew wider when he heard its phrase. “I am the Dark Magician, the ace to the king of games, co protector of all Elements and CMC, the watcher of all displace, co founder of Neo Domino Town and co bearer of the millennium Items of understanding. If you need my help raise this card into the air and call my name and I will come to light your darkest hour.” “Well, I know what I’m doing. I summon Dark Magician in attack mode,” Cruger cried as he slapped it onto his desk. A portal open up and out step the Dark Magician along with the Dark Magician Girl. “I summon myself in attack.” Dark Magician Girl said with a giggle. “Hello Cruger. I was wondering when I was going meet a Power Ranger Displaced.” Dark Magician said as he offered a hand to Cruger. “Good to meet you as well,” Cruger replied shaking his hand, “so, mind if I ask how you knew my name?” “Simple. I am a watcher of Displaced good, bad and inbetween.” Dark Magician said with a grin. “Plus we watched every version of Power Rangers when we was growing up on earth.” Dark Magician Girl said smiling as she jump up and down like Pinkie Pie. Cruger chuckled, “Well, as long as you’re here, want to give me a hand with something?” “Sure I got nothing much to do apart from helping out in two wars. So how can we help?” Dark Magician asked while looking around a bit. Cruger tapped a few keys on his terminal, “Well, there’s been a string of robberies lately, and I think that I’ve determined the next target. So, care to join me on a stakeout?” “Sure and I got the stakes.” Dark Magician Girl said while holding some stakes. Cruger chuckled, “Not that kind of stakeout, however,” Cruger pulled out a cooler, “I do have some steaks if you’re hungry, I’ve seen enough verses to know how blessed I am to have been sent to an omnivorous Equestria.” “I know you lucky dog. So let’s get going and maybe I could bring my sister along to help the steaks.” Dark Magician offered. Cruger examined his terminal for a second before opening a portal, “Well, shall we?” “Lead the way.” Dark Magician said. As they stepped through the portal, they arrived in an unoccupied apartment opposite an industrial looking building. “While at first glance, the robberies appear to have nothing in common except for the fact that they all produce pharmaceutical products,” Cruger explained, “they all share one similarity, they all produce the same uncommon chemical, Cytosin, which is used to help treat cases where a person’s internal magic channels suffer damage. Judging by the robberies committed so far, this one should be next on the list.” Cruger opened the cooler, “It’ll probably be a while before we see anything, so why don’t we indulge my habit of swapping stories over a bite?” “Sure want to bring my sister here to help cook the steaks?” Dark Magician asked while holding a Sol Emerald. Cruger shrugged, “Don’t see why not, she can stay for the stakeout too if she wants.” “Ok. Hey Blaze mind coming over to help cook some steaks?” Dark Magician said to the Sol Emerald token as a portal open up as Blaze the Cat step out and spot Cruger. “There’s a cat and dog joke somewhere around here.” Blaze said with a deadpanned look to her face. “Sure I need something to take my mind off of my mayor duties and a displace war.” She added as she BBQ the steaks. Cruger frowned, “That makes two, what is this Displaced war you’re talking about?” “Remember those two displaced that told you about the War of Shadows. Well their Equestria is getting attack another Displaceds the Warriors of Chaos from the War of Shadows and they calling for as displace they can to help defend it.” Blaze said as she took a bite of the steak. “Me, my brother, Dark Magician Girl, RED Scout and Erza Scarlet are helping to defend that Equestria.” She added. “Plus me and Dark Magician Girl are in the War of Shadows too.” Dark Magician said adding his two cent in. Cruger nodded, “Well, looks like you guys are in a bit of a pickle. So, Dark, since you know so much about me, I assume you know what I’m going to offer you.” “Yes. Offer me a place at your group called Truth.” Dark Magician said with a nod. “I wouldn’t mind joining. I could let you know of any new Displaced that might pop up as well.” He Added. “Can I join too?” Dark Magician Girl asked with puppy dog eyes. Cruger grinned, “And what possible reason would you not be allowed? Of course you can.” “Yay!” Dark Magician Girl said in joy as she give Cruger a hug. “Gag me.” Blaze said with a roll of her eyes. “You know,” Cruger said, “the offer’s open to you too.” “Love too but I will too busy being the Mayor of Neo Domino Town to come specaily when helping help out in a war.” Blaze said as she eats. “Plus I need to keep on the revives that live in as well.” She added. “Isn’t that Dashie’s job.” Dark Magician asked. “She is just one Revive Rainbow Dash she will need an extra pair of eyes for the job.” Blaze said. “Well, it’s not like you’ll have to do much,” Cruger said, “the main purpose of Truth is to share information, all you’d really need to do is keep your ears open and share what you find out about Displacement, Dark can give you the details.” “I will keep that in mind.” Blaze said as she finished eating her food. “Hope that you…” Cruger started before he looked out of the window. “So, who’s up for some fun?” He asked while taking a bite of potato salad. “Does that mean beating bad guys time?” Dark Magician Girl asked while wearing some boxing gloves. “Possibly,” Cruger said, “let’s go.” They went out to see a figure in a brown cloak. “Well friend,” Cruger said, “it’s a lovely night for a walk, wouldn’t you say.” Without a word, the figure tossed an object at them, which erupted into a swarm of huminoid robots. “Crybots,” Cruger said, drawing his sword, “well, all hopes of a future fighting standard MLP baddies just went down the tubes. Try not to damage their memory cores.” “It already went down the tubes when one of SPD baddies name was said in your Rangers first Megazord fight.” Dark Magician as he blast a Crybot while Dark Magician Girl is putting sappers on them while dressed as the TF2 Spy. “Well excuse me if I don’t like making assumptions on just one data point,” Cruger said as he went towards the cloaked figure, “you know that old saying about them making an ass of you and me.” “Well that Megazord was when you was off helping that one piece displace.” Dark Magician said as he blasted another Crybot while Blaze just melting some with her fire. “These Crybots are having a meltdown.” Blaze joked. Cruger chuckled as he blasted the cloak off of the figure, revealing it to be another robot with a blue head, “You couldn’t resist, could you.” “It was too hot not too pass up.” Blaze chuckled. “Enough with the fire puns or you will be burned out of them.” Dark Magician Girl giggled at her joke while she mowing the Crybots down with a minigun while dressed as the TF2 Heavy. “Cry some more!” She shouted. Cruger chuckled harder as he bisected the Bluehead, “You are Pinkie Pie if Pinkie Pie could fight. Well, that looks like the last of them.” “Looks like it.” Dark Magician said as he check for anymore. “We had sented these maggotbots to the scrapyard.” Dark Magician Girl now wearing a TF2 Soldier outfit. “I still don’t know where she gets of those outfits from.” Blaze said as her left eye twitched. “Never question the art of the Pinkie Pie.” Dark Magician Girl said giggling while Blaze just facepalmed. “When I said you were Pinkie Pie, I was joking,” Cruger said, “how’d you learn to do that?” “I am more of a Surprise but I alway act it like Pinkie even before I was displace.” Dark Magician Girl said as she put the outfit away. “Yeah. So let’s check what these Crybots got for us.” Dark Magician said. “On it,” Cruger said as he pulled out his Tricorder. “Hm, looks like you managed to follow my advice, none of these memory cores has so much as a ding.” “We do our best.” Blaze said as she pull memory core from a melted Crybot. “Well, I think you deserve some compensation for your assistance,” Cruger said as he pulled a part from one of the Crybots and handing it to Dark Magician, “this is the part that allows them to combine into that small sphere, it’s magitech so you should be able to do something with it.” “Maybe or I could give to one of the revive Twilights Sparkles or to Saxton Bale of Mane-Co and see what they can do with it.” Dark Magician said as he look at the magitech part. “Eggheads.” Blaze said with a eye roll as she notice Dark Magician Girl pulling out two red tool boxes from out of nowhere. “Here are teleporters you might find useful for your base.” Dark Magician Girl said as she hand them to Cruger. Cruger took them with a nod, “Thanks, I don’t need to use them personally, but I bet my R&D team could make good use of them, speaking of which,” Cruger set the toolboxes on the ground, then conjured portals beneath them and the Crybot remains, sending them back to the base. “Well, that looks like everything, so see ya next time?” “Yes. We will see you next time. But before we go I would need you to be on the lookout for any Number monsters that might appeared in this Equestria.” Dark Magician said simply. “Like Utopia, got it,” Cruger replied, “and I know just who to call if they have under 2500 ATK.” “Dashie my first revive Rainbow Dash controls Utopia and Number monsters can only be destroyed by another Number Monster.” Dark Magician said with a grim look to his face. “Plus my Equestria’s Fluttershy controls the Blue Eyes White Dragon.” He added. “My earlier statement still applies, you just have to bring Dash along with ya,” Cruger said with a chuckle, “now, since you were the one who summoned your sister, I’m pretty sure you should be the one to send her back.” “He don’ts need to. I can send myself back.” Blaze said as she open a portal. ”See you next time Ranger boy.” She added as she jumped in as the portal closed. “Okay, need to remember that,” Cruger said as he pulled three badges out of his coat, handing two to Dark Magician and one to Dark Magician Girl, “make sure your sister gets hers, you remember its special feature right?” “Yes I know.” Dark Magician said with a nod as he give Cruger a copy of Blaze’s token. “Oh heres my token.” Dark Magician Girl said as she give Cruger her token that is a card as well. “I’am the Dark Magician Girl, the student to the ace to the King of games, co protecter of all Elements and CMC, cheering upper of all the Revives, co founder of Neo Domino Town and co bearer of the millennium Items of understanding. If you need help just call me and I will come to put a smile on your face. P.S If you are male. Don’t stare at my breasts OR I WILL KICK YOUR BALLS SO HARD YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO TAKE A PISS FOR A YEAR! Okay? Good.” “Extreme much?” Cruger said as he heard the token’s phrase. “Well yeah. There are lots of pervy displaces out there and Dark Magician is the only male that I allow to stare at my breasts.” Dark Magician Girl said with a nod which made her breasts bounce up and down a bit. Cruger shot a look at Dark Magician, “She doesn’t know about Zinnia, does she?” “Oh She know and she fine with females looking at her breasts it just males she not fine with. Scout learned that the hard way.” Dark Magician said with a wince. “Ouch,” was all Cruger could say, “well, how about I send you two back while I’m still capable of procreation?” “Yes you can and see you next time.” Dark Magician said with nod. “Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl, our contract is complete,” said Cruger, “let Erza know I’d like to spar with her if she doesn’t mind.” “Of course I will tell her.” Dark Magician said as a portal opened up and he step in. “Bye bye.” Dark Magician Girl said has she left something on a table before stepping into the portal before it closed. Cruger shook his head, “Why do I meet up with so many eccentrics?” With a snap of his fingers, he opened up a portal of his own and pulled out the head of the Bluehead, “Now, what do you have to tell me?”
